What variant of Codex are you using?
CLI
What feature would you like to see?
I love the addition of codex agents in 0.149.0 - that's a serious Claude leveller and increases my temptation to move away from Claude Code as a daily driver, great work.
I can see areas where codex's agents already beats claude's, but one significant area where it doesn't is allowing me to run codex agents in one project's folder only. An agent view that lists all my projects and all my sessions from all my projects gets too crowded to be usable very quickly. With claude agents I can pass in a --cwd and start one copy of agents per active project (i.e. per terminal tab). It'd be great to be able to do that in a codex agents view too.
